Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 79 Xiao Wu's First Kill Battle

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Yang Long walked to the vicinity of Notting City, cursing Tang San for colluding with the Spirit Hall.

"Those guys from the Spirit Hall are really stupid. How dare they trust Tang San? He'll overthrow the Spirit Hall in the future, and you commoners will never have a chance to rise again!"

Amidst his grumbling, Yang Long arrived at Notting Academy. He saw Xiao Wu coming out with a little girl, but he didn't think much of it and simply followed them quietly.

Having spent several days in Notting City, Yang Long had figured out the situation and felt it was time to take action, capture Xiao Wu, and use her to threaten Tang San into handing over the Xuan Tian Gong.

Even if Tang Hao eventually discovers it, Yang Long doesn't care, since he was born into the Breaking Clan and can probably have a go at them.

Xiao Wu was about to take Guang Ling shopping when she noticed someone following her. She told Guang Ling to go to the Spirit Hall first, while she went out of Notting City alone.

Yang Long followed Xiao Wu, circling the streets and alleys of Notting City several times. Finally, he discovered that Xiao Wu was heading out of Notting City. Realizing that he had been discovered, he revealed himself after Xiao Wu entered a small grove of trees.

"Little sister, do you still remember my mom?"

Yang Long jumped in front of Xiao Wu, revealing a lewd smile like a creepy uncle trying to trick a child. He put his hands on his hips and asked with a grin.

"I don't remember. Who are you?" Xiao Wu jumped back a step, sizing up Yang Long. Naturally, she hadn't forgotten this guy that Tang San had specifically mentioned to her.

He's definitely not a good person!

"My name is Yang Long," Yang Long introduced himself. "You'd better listen to me, or you'll suffer less. If it really comes down to a fight, you're no match for me."

"How do you know who will win if you haven't fought?" Xiao Wu put on a wary expression, but in reality, she was already prepared to release her martial soul at any time.

"Your martial soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit, your first soul skill is the Waist Bow, and your second soul skill is Teleportation, right?" Yang Long smiled confidently. "Of course, that's just the surface information. Actually, I know your deeper secret: you're a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, right?"

Xiao Wu's eyes narrowed, and she tentatively asked, "Are you a Title Douluo?"

"Of course not, but I have my own way of figuring out your identity." Yang Long, relying on this "information gap," was extremely smug. "Let me tell you, Tang San is no good. He looks gentle and refined, but he's actually very hypocritical. Want to come with me?"

"Really? I didn't know Tang San was gentle and refined?"

Xiao Wu spent a long time with Tang San and knew him well. She liked to study martial soul theory and could explain various reasons for even the most ordinary things. She often made fun of herself and was far from gentle, but she knew that it was Tang San's way of caring for her.

After calming down and thinking it over, Xiao Wu came to a conclusion: the person in front of her didn't understand Tang San or herself at all, and her second soul skill wasn't teleportation at all.

"Also, you're the second person to say that Third Brother is hypocritical."

The second one?

Before Yang Long could react, Xiao Wu activated her martial spirit, and two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, appeared. She instantly darted out and kicked Yang Long.

"So fast!"

Upon seeing the opponent's spirit ring, Yang Long's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly released the Dragon Pattern Spear, holding it horizontally in front of his chest to defend.

After Xiao Wu kicked the shaft of the Dragon Pattern Spear, she tossed her head and her scorpion tail braid attacked Yang Long's eyes. Unexpectedly, the wooden dagger pierced Yang Long's right eye.

"what!"

In pain, Yang Long suddenly exerted his strength and swung the Dragon Pattern Spear. Xiao Wu used the force of the swing to jump a distance away from Yang Long and leaned against a tree as thick as a person, staring at Yang Long.

Yang Long's right eye was not blinded by the wooden knife at the end of Xiao Wu's scorpion tail braid—Xiao Wu had not yet mastered the art of hair-flipping, and her aim was not yet accurate. Secondly, the wooden short knife tied to the end of her hair was unopened and rather blunt.

Even so, the blow still hit Yang Long's right eye, causing it to swell up and even bleed slightly from the corner of his eye.

If it is not treated in a short period of time, it may really go blind.

"You bastard, you bitch, how dare you blind me!" Yang Long gripped the Dragon Pattern Spear in one hand, covered his right eye with the other, and glared at Xiao Wu with his remaining left eye, gritting his teeth.

"Heh." Xiao Wu sneered, "I don't know how you found out my identity, but you dared to come looking for me without investigating everything about me, trying to control me, and you might even use me to threaten Third Brother."

"How can you be so smart?" Yang Long, holding the dragon-patterned spear, thrust it directly at Xiao Wu's head.

Xiao Wu seemed to have sensed something in advance and dodged ahead of time. Her figure darted through the bushes, making Yang Long, who couldn't see in one eye, a little dizzy.

In this forest, his Dragon Pattern Spear Martial Spirit was difficult to unleash; he could only slash vertically, thrust, and sweep horizontally, but the range was limited due to the obstruction of the trees.

What puzzled him was that every time he stabbed Xiao Wu, she seemed to be able to anticipate his attack direction and dodge in advance.

His speed and agility were simply unmatched.

"First Soul Skill! Spear Strike Like a Dragon!"

Yang Long shouted, gripped the gun with both hands, and concentrated his soul power on the spearhead, creating a dragon shape formed from his soul power. He predicted where Xiao Wu would appear next and thrust it out in advance.

Whoosh!

As Yang Long thrust forward, the dragon-shaped energy burst forth, piercing through a large tree and heading straight for Xiao Wu's next landing spot.

It is foreseeable that if Xiao Wu takes that step, she will be hit by this attack.

However, Xiao Wu anticipated Yang Long's prediction and abruptly stopped her forward step, dodging the attack while also rushing towards him who was still in a thrusting motion.

This happens in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Wu had already arrived in front of Yang Long, who hadn't yet reacted to the thrusting attack. She braced herself with her hands on the ground, her first spirit ring lit up, and her waist bow activated.

Suddenly, Xiao Wu bent over and kicked Yang Long hard in the chest, sending him flying and crashing into a tree.

"puff!"

Blood gushed from Yang Long's mouth, and two footprints were dented in his chest. His ribs were broken and had pierced his internal organs.

The waist bow technique involves using one's own body as a bow, clamping the enemy's neck with both legs, and then throwing them away. However, it doesn't necessarily have to clamp the enemy's head or neck. Kicking the enemy away with the force of the moment the body straightens is also a form of attack.

"you······"

Yang Long stared wide-eyed, not understanding why he had been killed by Xiao Wu, especially since he was clearly a Soul Master while she was just a Great Soul Master.

However, Yang Long forgot that Xiao Wu, who could withstand a thousand-year soul ring, was no less physically capable than a Soul Master, and might even be stronger.

Secondly, Xiao Wu often sparred with Tang San and the people of the Spirit Hall, so she had some understanding of various spirit souls, especially the spear spirit soul. Even if the spirit soul of the Spirit Hall was not a spear, the spirit masters of the Spirit Hall would still use it, as it was standard equipment for the Spirit Hall personnel.

Furthermore, the battleground is in this forest, where the trees are as thick as a human body. Even a Soul Master would be limited in strength. Yang Long could break one, two, or three trees with his Dragon Pattern Spear, but he couldn't break the entire forest. His Soul Master level soul power wouldn't allow him to do that.

In this environment, Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul can be brought to its fullest potential.

Of course, the most important point is that Yang Long underestimated his opponent at the beginning. Xiao Wu injured his right eye with the wooden dagger at the end of her scorpion braid, which damaged his vision. Moreover, his anger also caused him to lose some of his rationality.
